Is it possible to run wine with more than 4 serial ports? Looking through
the source I seem to see a hard limit of MAX_PORTS=9, I would like
something more on the order of 36 serial ports. I need to run multiple
apps with a multi-port serial board, and I am hoping to do it though wine.
When I try to set a com port of COM6 in my .wine/config file I get the
following error when running my app:

fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD COM6. Try --winver nt40 or
win31

My serial ports are defined as:
[serialports]
"Com1" = "/dev/ttyS8"
"Com2" = "/dev/ttyS1"
"Com6" = "/dev/ttyS0"

Any advice / suggestions?
